They did a great job shipping my Leopard Softshell turtle who is just gorgeous! They are experts in the care of reptiles and amphibians. They answered my questions, and I would definitely order from them again. Their website is an informative resource with specific care sheets for each animal. A Jackson.

Couldn’t possibly rave or recommend backwater reptiles enough. Fantastic company to work with. Communication is quick and very helpful, and they are very kind and easy to work with. My baby frogs were packaged exceptionally, and stayed warm through shipping even with the horrid weather due to their careful preparation for their journey. The species I ordered ended up being sold out and they went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied and that I got something that I would love. I’m very pleased, they have earned my business for life.

omg. its like having a bestfriend thats good to you but all ur other friends hate her. and you know why. and they not wrong , but she haven't crossed you and always had ur back. lol!!! I love backwater. I had great experience with shipping and with the animal. got an bearded dragon, came in great condition. I have a couple family members who have ordered and that's where i got the recommendation from. and they also had wonderful experiences and beautiful animals. still living years later. prices were fair and after i ordered, i sent a thank you message and received a message from them the same day. i loved my experience with them and so did my family.

This is the second russian tortoise I've ordered from Back Water Reptiles. The first guy arrived a little lethargic. I was worried so I called BWR and they told me exactly what to do. He quickly perked up. I had him for over two years. BUT. I built this great outdoor pen for him and the little rascal tunneled his way out and disappeared. It was the poor quality of my construction, not the quality of the tortoise that was the problem. The new tortoise arrived yesterday (10/10/24) No problems with lethargy on this one. He started booking around his indoor pen as soon as I lifted him out of his shipping containing. BWR will always be my go to source for reptiles!!

Just received a Russian tortoise from Backwater Reptiles and he is absolutely beautiful! He arrived today via UPS overnight and seemed to do great during his travels. The packaging was great and kept him healthy and safe. He has already started to explore his new enclosure and is eating as well! As an experienced tortoise owner, I would highly recommend Backwater Reptiles! They have some of the best prices and an awesome health guarantee for their animals. You can tell they take pride in the reps they produce! Will definitely purchase from here again!
